MANNERS ARE DEcAYlNG.
Gradual Decline of Social and Domesti
 Sweetness-The 's1Iissing Link"

Gradual Decline of Social and Domestic
 Sweetness-The ''11issing Link.'
 Higher education has something to do with the gradual decline in that social and doHes- tic sweetness which is the outgrowth of the performance of loving little duties and att tentions one toward another. The daughter has her school, her college, her post graduate courses, her societies and her discussions of political economy and her "aims," and no longer relieves her mother of household cares or places the slippers by the fire for her father The son has his night key, his own set of companions and associates is only seen at meal times and not always then, and has so many engagements that mother or sister can rarely rely upon Ltm as an escort, and are often obliged to seek or accept the atten- tion from strangers or mere acquaintances which they do not find at home.
 But this is not the worst of 'society" young men. Vanity and inbecility are fast rend- ering them an indistinguishable race-nei- ther divine, human nor respectable as br9tes, but new species, possibly the "missing link" to be investigated and assigned 0 place by naturalists. A young dude recently made it a condition of going to a party with his sister that she should not sinterduce" any one He didn't want to ''incwease" his list of acquaintances; besides, he was ''afwaid" the collection" might be mixed" This is literally true.
 Modern improvements, inventions and lux urious appliances have done their share toward ridding us of the hunlanities. Nobody now wants to 'take any trouble" for themselves or for other people, not even the members of their own households. What is the use of taking a message or carrying a parcel? There is the telephone in the house or office and the messenger boy on the corner. Memory is no longer cultivated in the direc- tion of performing thoughtful little acts, and fails even in the service of directing others to attend to them. Personal solicitude, per sonal sympathy is dying out for want of ex- ercise, because every one is too busy to moro than write note or send a bouquet of flowers, and even the illness of our nearest and dearest is turned over to the "trained" nurse and doctor, and the busy nothingness

StonewaI .Jacl<son's War Horse.

Old Sorrel, Gen. Stonewan Jackson's war horse, has been in the hands of Washington texidermist since his death He is now mounted on a rock of moss green color, and stands on all fours. Tho erect position of the head and the pricked up ears give startled, listening position, as if while grazing he had heard some unusual, unexpected sound. Of Old Sorrel's early history nothing is know,,. He was one of Q carload of United State, horscs captured by the Confederates, and was bought by Gen. Jackson from his chief quar- termaster, Maj. John A. Harman. The price paid was about $50. The horse was but if. teen hands and one inch high, but though undersized was compact and hardy, and moved very quickly and was remarkably gentle. At that time, soon after the battle of Manassas, the prevalent opinion was that the war would soon end, and Jackson's idea was that the horse would serve him in the army and would then do for riding horse for his wife. When Gen. Jackson was a lieutenant in the United States army and stationed at Fort Hamilton, New York, he owned horse named Fancy, and was very much attached to him, and so he named the little sorrel after him.
 Jackson said of little sorrel, which after ward came to be called Old Sorrel, that he had never known horse of easier gait "A se1G O1 ulul WaS, ue Sdlu, uke DelIlS rOcheQ in cradle" Fancy never was a stylish horse, but though Jackson had two fine mounts-Superior, a magnificent bay pre- sented to him by the people of Augusta, and Big Sorrel-Fancy he loved best and trusted most, for the little animal was rapid and hardy and was as calm under fire as the man who rode him. A peculiarity about this tough little horse often noticed and com mented upon by the soldiers was that on a march when O stop was made and Jackson dismounted the little sorrel would lie down like dog. Jackson rode the little sorrel through the Romney campaign; was on hin. at Kernstown, Mcdowell, Port Republic, Winchester and Cross Keys. Mounted on him he appeared at the head of his division when, ike thunderbolt from clear sky, he swept down upon McClellan's right at Cold Harbor in 1862. He did not ride him in Maryland, but he rode him at Fredericlzs- burg and finally at Charlottesville, and on the little sorrel he received his death wound Richmond Va.) Dispatch.

Mexican Teams.

Some of the teams were curiously mixed. One consisted of three donkeys, two mules and three bronchos. Most of them were partly composed of mules. Some were poor, others remarkably good. Particularly noteworthy was the performance of a level team of sturdy bronchos that we picked up late in the after noon, and that of fine team of mules which took us into Magdalena on the following morning. The stages were about sixteen and eighteen miles respectively. With the excep- tion of few short stoppages, occasioned by trouble with the harness, these distances were covered at full gallop, notwithstanding which the teams pulled up almost as fresh as they started.-Domestic Monthly.

THE SPEECH OF WILSON ON THE sCAFFOLD. He began by telling them that though he was condemned to death as spy, he was no spy, but simply a soldier in the per formance of duty; he said he did not re- gret dying for his country, for that was a soldiers duty, but only the manner of death, which was unbecoming to a soldier. Even those who condemned them we'll knew that they were not spies; then leav- ing the personal question, he declared that De had nc hard feelings toward the south or her people, with whom he had long been we'll acquainted; that they were generous and brave; he knew they were right, but they were terribly deceived. Their leaders had not permitted them to know the facts in the case, and they were bringing blood and destruction upon their section of the nation for 8 mere delusion. He declared that the people of the north loved the whole nation and the flag, and were fighting to uphold them, not to do any injury to the south, and that when victory came the south would reap the benefit as we'll as the north. The guilt of the war would rest upon those who had misled the southern people, and induced them to engage in 8 causeless and hope less rebellion. He told them that all whose lives were spared for but short time would regret the part they had taken in this rebellion, and that the old Union would yet be restored, and the flag of our common country wave over the very ground occupied by this scaffold.
 There were tears coursing rapidly down the cheeks of many Confederate soldiers; the emotion of number of negroes who were 8 long way off, yet in easy hearing of the trumpet like voice, was almost un- controllable. One of them said to Capt. Sarratt two years after, "Massa, if that man had only spoke q few minutes longer they could never have hung him in the world.'' A rebel officer was heard to mutter, "Why don't they stop him? What do they allow such talk for?'' But it was not so easy to stop 8 dying man, whose words were so kind and persuasive, and whose eloquence was of that highest type which throws a spell over friend and enemy.
 So the tide of truthful speech flowed on till many of the poor men in the rebel ranks heard for the first time the full ar raignment of their own guilty government with a clearness which carried conviction, and then with the bold prophecy of com ing triumph for the glorious cause-a prospect which seemed to lift the speaker above all fear of his own death-the hero closed, giving the sign for the deed of shame dying with this glorious predic- tion on his ipsl
 No collins had been provided. As soon as life was pronounced extinct the bodies were laid in the shallow trench, just wide enough for their length, and long enough for all the seven to lie close together-a brotherhood in death as they had been in life Here the earth was filled in, and they remained till, at the close of the war, the national government removed their bodies to an honored spot in the beautiful national cemetery at Chattanooga. A monument should mark both this spot and that in Atlanta, where heroism in death shone so brightly.

Thieves Abroad.

Last Monday night thieves entered
j. w. Kellar's store through the back
window and stole goods to the value of
about 500. An entrance was gained
by pryiEg out the sash which held the
Wire netting, after which hole was
bored in the lower part of the sash, in
to which a bar was inserted and the
window forced open.
The watches and most of the jewelry
is packed up every night and taken
care of. consequently the goods in that
line taken were not very valuable. A
child's set, napkin rings, pocket knives,
watch chains, sleeve buttons, collar
buttons, spectacles and cigars were the
principal articles taken.
No clue has as yet been discovered,
but the thieves are good ones if they
escape detection many days.

OBITUARY.

Mrs. Mary G. jerks Andrews, whose
funeral occurred on the 22nd OF June,
was born December 23rd, 1857, in Ge-
auga county, Ohio. When young she
removed with her parents to Iowa, and
at sixteen entered Grinell College.
From early childhood she had mani
tested an eager desire for education.
1t was with reluctance therefore that
she left Grinell to return with her par
ents to Ohio. AT the age of twenty
one she went to reside with her uncle,
Rev. III. S. Canield, in Mt. Glllead, Nor
row county, Ohio. She at once entered
Mt. Giliead high school from which she
graduated with high honors on May
goth, 1881. While here she united with
the Universalist church, in the firm
faith of which she lived until she died.
She left Ohio for Dakota with her sis
ter Lola six years ago the goth of June,
the day on which she lett earth for
heaven. Here she soon after began to
teach school, which occupation she con-
tinued with great success until she
was joined in holy wedlock to Mr.. Wm.
Andrews of Spring Valley. When she
left the teachers ranks, the profession
| lost faithful, earnest and successful
| laborer But when she left earth, in
| the very prime of life, her husband
was bereft of true, kind and faithful
companion, and society of noble
| christian woman.
She lived the religion she professed.
Her firm. abiding trust in the Savior
was the basis of her happiness in
health, and gave her great comfort as
she realized the hour of her departure
was drawing near. She had no fear or
dread Of death. but would speak of dy-
ing as calmly as Of any other event.
She loved home and friends, but sh',
looked upon death as the end of all evil,
and on the evening of the goth of June
she peacefully entered her eternal
home.

Certain drummers for eastern houses

well to look out for them. No class of
business is subject to more deception
and despicable fraud than the grocery
business, and the only safe rule is to
buy of a reliable home merchant, who
gives you Il chance to see and critically
inspect the goods before purchasing
and the option of buying or going else
where if they don't suit in quality and
price.-EX.
